EpistemeLinks.com Update Newsletter, v.6, #1, 2/17/2002
------------------------------------------------------
This is the first ELC Update for 2002. EpistemeLinks.com is now in its 6th
year online! I'd like to take this opportunity to once again thank everyone who
has emailed me over the years with new or updated Website URLs, with
constructive criticism, or with kind words about the site.
As always, the latest links added to the ELC database can be found at the
What's New? page:
Newsletter Headlines:
** New Philosopher Sections Added **
** Funk and Wagnalls ... gone? **
** Latest ELC "Gems of the Web" Winners **
** New Entries at the SEP **
** Upcoming Events in Philosophy (Jan/Feb) **
Details for each item follow below.
** New Philosopher Sections Added **
ELC regularly adds new philosopher sections to the site. Those added since
the last newsletter was sent in late December are:
Henry Sidgwick
Paul Ricoeur
A.J. Ayer
Julia Kristeva
Gabriel Marcel
Antonio Rosmini
Alexandre Kojčve
Lucius Cornelius
Alexander Polyhistor
Arcesilaus
Philo of Alexandria
Johann Georg Hamann
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Jonathan Edwards
Salomon Maimon
Further, as a new feature, the most recently added philosophers are now
listed on both the What's New? page and the main Philosophers page (in drop-down
menus).
** Funk and Wagnalls ... gone? **
From what I can tell, the online edition of the Funk and Wagnalls
encyclopedia is no longer available. For some time now all attempts to visit
www.funkandwagnalls.com have returned an error -- not even
a page explaining the problem. Perhaps it has moved or become available as part
of a collection of resources somewhere else. For now, I have "turned off" all
the links in the ELC database to F&W, and will provide them again if and
when the resource comes back online. If you know what has happened to it, or
where it is now located on the Web, please let me know!
** Latest ELC "Gems of the Web" Winners **
Each month (usually) EpistemeLinks.com gives a "Gem of the Web" award to an
outstanding philosophy resource site. The most recent winners have
been:
The Philosophical Lexicon, ed. by Daniel Dennett
The Philosophical Gourmet Report, by Brian Leiter
** New Entries at the SEP **
I like to draw attention to the latest entries at the Stanford Encyclopedia
of Philosophy, because it provides such well-written articles. Since my last
newsletter, the SEP has added 16 more articles, listed below. These articles are
all linked from their What's New page at
http://plato.stanford.edu/new.html. (Authors are given in
parentheses)
